The Site of the Red Army's Propaganda and Social Survey Activities, Huadun Bridge, is located 5 meters north of No. 45, Huadun Bridge Street, Xikou Community, Xikou Town, Jianning County.

Between June and July 1931, during his work in Jianning, Mao Zedong took advantage of market days to visit the streets of Huadun Bridge, where he interacted with local residents and conducted research. He spoke with the public here. Red Army soldiers also carried out propaganda activities to promote the policies of the Party and the Red Army.

Huadun Bridge was built in the 19th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1540).

In 1999, due to years of disrepair and severe damage, the bridge’s roof was demolished.
